You can moralise all you want about this war but wars are won and lost on power and the ability to project it ....its called Geopolitics. King Harold and the then Poms thought they were morally right in defending Britain against the Normans but the Normans knocked them off because of a superior military force. Post reformation there were many wars between Protestants and Catholics but in every case the most powerful won...not necessarily the side with the most convincing moral argument Similarily on other wars since then there have been victories and losses with both sides claiming the moral high ground. And so it is with this war....the outcome will have nothing to do with morality but instead who is the most powerful. The Aboriginies and the Maori had a resounding moral argument to win the wars against the Pommy invader but that was worth diddly Squat and of course today we are the beneficiaries. So in summary, morality is a motivation for the plebs to motivate them to volunteer as cannon fodder but no match for superior fire power.../

PS I can understand others being on the spectrum where their world is binary...black or white....good or bad....right or wrong. ...truth or lie ......For normal people , however, there are alot more shades of grey than there are Black or White For these reasons I can understand why some can't accept the concept of neutrality because of their binary/bigoted universe.
